Consulting with Cody

I Cody Williams, was placed on this earth to help people, and the best way I can do that is to dedicate my time to making sure we properly protect ourselves financially when the unexpected arises. Most people are unaware of the assistance that is out there for us and now my daily goal is to provide knowledge and create awareness amongst our community, which sadly is under informed when it comes to protecting our hard earned money. At Combined, A Chubb Company, I have been able to successfully aid in putting CASH back in the pockets of people who truly need help when life's issues cause stress and concern, specifically related to out of pocket income and expenses lost to personal injury or sickness. As a man who grew up with a pay cheque-to-pay cheque family in a 2-income household, I truly understand the value of a dollar and will do everything I can to educate as many people as I can to ensure less people have to struggle when everyday setbacks occur. If you would like to book a time to sit with me and gain some knowledge on the topic even though it might not be for you, it will most likely be of interest to a friend, family member, or someone else you know.

Did you know you can receive CASH pay outs when you get Injured or Sick? Please contact me so I can teach you how to protect your hard earned money!
